Tottenham v Leicester: match preview

Tottenham v Leicester
Tottenham v Leicester: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Leicester have been excellent away from home this season, hitting hard on quick counters to win five of their six league matches. It is how Tottenham like to play, too, which raises the prospect of a who-blinks-first duel. It will be interesting to see who has more of the ball and whether either team actually wants that. More likely it will be about quality not quantity; who is the most incisive and ruthless. David Hytner
